Six players came out to play on what (so far) was the hottest, muggiest and perhaps most unusual afternoon of the season. You can say what you want about League points but I can tell you there was more than heat and humidity in the air this day.
In the middle of teeing off on seven, the group was treated to a (Ford F-150 sound system based) mini Luther Vandross concert; compliments of one of the neighbors who lives just off the eighth green. Once the song had satisfied the neighbor’s musical whim, he was on his way down the fairway only to CRUSH Robby’s disc. It was heartbreaking to see a great lie jump out from under the front wheel only to flip back under the rear and get hammered a second time. The only consolation was that the lie was actually improved a bit and the team birdied this difficult hole. As the group played up to eight, the neighbor could be seen, in his driveway, apparently hosing (what he thought might be) evidence off of his tires. No kidding; he was hosing off the right side of his truck!
As if that was not enough, after half the group teed off on nine, another vehicle hit two discs (one of which again was Robby’s) as they lay perfectly thrown in the middle of the fairway. Perhaps this round should come to be known as the “plop plop, fizz fizz†round.
The team of MaT and Wayne picked up momentum on the back and took the lead, closely followed by Robby and Travis. As the group played down the Travis Trail, the team of Robby and Travis fell behind another stroke but would make it up with an Ace on 18; nailed by Robby ON THE FLY! And being the gentleman he is, Robby left a buck in the pool, starting a new tradition to be know as the "Morgan Dollar" for those that consider themselves gentlemen.
As predicted, Overall League positions have changed as a result of this round. Next week will likely see more of the same as the players start to duke it out for League bragging rights.
